E45 - ESE 444 - Sensors And Actuators
Total Credits: 3
The course provide engineering students with basic understanding of two of the main components of any modern electrical or electromechanical system; sensors as inputs and actuators as outputs. The covered topics include transfer functions, frequency responses and feedback control. Component matching and bandwidth issues. Performance specification and analysis, Sensors: analog and digital motion sensors, optical sensors, temperature sensors, magnetic and electromagnetic sensors, acoustic sensors, chemical sensors, radiation sensors, torque, force and tactile sensors. Actuators: stepper motors, DC and AC motors, hydraulic actuators, magnet and electromagnetic actuators, acoustic actuators. Introduction to interfacing methods: bridge circuits, A/D and D/A converters, microcontrollers. This course is useful for those students interested in control engineering, robotics and systems engineering. Prerequisites: one of the following 4 conditions:
(1) prerequisite of ESE 230 and corequisite of ESE 351;
(2) prerequisites of ESE 230, ESE 317 and MASE 255 (Mechanics II);
(3) prerequisites of ESE 105/251 and ESE 351;
(4) permission of instructor.
